I'm trying to create a stamp that automatically puts the current date & time when used. I have followed all instructions perfectly - but it puts the static date & time of when the stamp was created. Is Javascript not reading the field correctly?
ANY help will be GREATLY appreciated.
For example, the stamp in your stamps menu may not be what you think it is. It's a common mistake to add the fields and JavaScript to a PDF and then create a stamp. This doesn't work, the fields must be added after the stamp is created.
Maybe the stamp file was damaged when you edited it?
There could also be a problem with the stamp code.
You can check these possibilities out by going to the Acrobat User Stamps folder and looking at the stamp file directly.
Instructions for doing this can be found in the first section of this article:
